Lin Yuan knew that Jin Qianxun had been aiming to cling to him and do whatever he asked.

But in spite of this aim, Jin Qianxun was still the head of a federation and needed to have the necessary aura that came with it.

The best way to increase his foundational power was to nurture a batch of subordinates who were loyal to him to increase the amount of power at his disposal.

Liu Jie went to see Jin Qianxun first to borrow the use of the martial arts hall.

Since Liu Jie had asked, there was no way that Jin Qianxun would dare to turn him down and immediately cleared the space for him.

Next, Liu Jie contacted some of the stronger white-clothed followers and led them to the martial arts hall in the Great Lush Federation's imperial court.

Lin Yuan, the City Lord of Sky City, was a mystery to the white-clothed followers.

Although those present were the first few joiners of the white-clothed followers, only Zhou Luo and a few more of them had spoken to Lin Yuan before.

Besides the first few joiners, the rest of the white-clothed followers had all been recruited by Liu Jie.

Nonetheless, they all knew that any changes in their fate depended on Lin Yuan and Liu Jie.

The first few joiners were all citizens of the Radiance Federation.

At first, they did not know who Liu Jie and Lin Yuan were.

But when Lin Yuan and Liu Jie revealed their identities during the fight against the Freedom Federation envoy group, every citizen of the Radiance Federation found out that Lin Yuan was the Moon Empress' disciple while Liu Jie was Night Leaning Moon's disciple.

All of the white-clothed followers felt honored to be able to be part of a faction that both of them had established.

Now, they were in unfamiliar territory, but it was a territory that Sky City had conquered.

The white-clothed followers could never have dreamed of anything like this happening.

Now, they saw Lin Yuan and Liu Jie as no different from gods.

Half a year ago, all of them had only contracted mediocre feys and were part of the pits of society.

But now, their arsenal of feys had exceeded even that of other king-class experts.

More importantly, their feys had evolved to Fantasy Breed when they were Bronze or Silver grade. This allowed them to have much greater potential than their peers.

While the white-clothed followers were looking at Lin Yuan and Liu Jie with high esteem, Lin Yuan was also gazing back at them.

As Lin Yuan looked at these people's confident and energized expressions, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

Sky City had only been established for six months.

After treading on a path laden with thorns in the past six months, he finally saw some results.

Lin Yuan looked at Liu Jie.

Liu Jie shouted to the 47 white-clothed followers who were in the martial arts hall, "All of you are A-rank spirit qi professionals. Some of you have even reached S-rank. Previously, you were made to keep your feys' powers stuck at Diamond X/Fantasy V. Now is the time to evolve your feys and transform yourselves into emperor-class experts. You should have heard of how dangerous the World Cleansing is. But with us around, we can guarantee that you will be safe during the World Cleansing."

In the past, the white-clothed followers would have caused an uproar if they had heard what Liu Jie said.

But after training for so long, all of the white-clothed followers could remain composed even in the face of delight.

Lin Yuan instructed Shadow to leave his shadow and said, "Later, Shadow will help you to overcome your World Cleansing. Your safety is assured by gathering all of you together and having your feys evolve at once. Additionally, I hope that you can help me with something."

Morbius could use the Pure Land of Bliss to absorb the World Graces without the feys feeling anything.

The Pure Land of Bliss would only take about around 2% of each of the World Graces.

Normally, it was very difficult for a spirit qi professional to help their fey overcome the World Cleansing.

When feys were injured, it would be impossible for them to absorb 98% of their World Grace.

This was why so many spirit qi professionals were willing to respond to Lin Yuan's trade message on Star Web even if it would cost them a portion of the World Grace.

Thus, there was actually no need for Lin Yuan to tell the white-clothed followers about this condition.

But as the City Lord of Sky City, Lin Yuan did not want to lie to his subordinates for the sake of his own profits.

As such, there were some things that still had to be said.

The moment Lin Yuan was done speaking, almost all of the white-clothed followers bowed with their fists cupped and said, "City Lord, if you need us to do anything, all you need to do is say the word! We would never dare to claim that we were helping you!"

The white-clothed followers' voices were bright and deafening. Anyone who heard them could tell that they were sincere.

It could be said that it was human to be selfish.

When Jin Qianxun swore his loyalty to Lin Yuan, he had selfishly wanted to nurture a group of experts who were only loyal to him.

Although the white-clothed followers had joined Sky City and had dedicated their loyalty, they still needed to look out for themselves.

This was because many of them had parents, wives, and children back home who they needed to support.

They needed to think about their families even if they did not look out for themselves.

But in front of Lin Yuan, all of the white-clothed followers tossed all selfish thoughts out of their minds.

One had to plunge into the murky abyss before understanding how dark this world was.

When the value of the resources was more significant than the talent, a lack of Creation Master resources led to factions preferring to nurture those who were sincere rather than talented.

Thus, even a spirit qi professional who had comprehended multiple Willpower Runes did not have much chance to prove their abilities.

In this world, it was difficult for there to be instances of the main character catching the eye of a bigshot with his outstanding talent, like in the books that Lin Yuan had read in his previous life.

When the Moon Empress was picking her disciples, she had looked out for Creation Master talent rather than spirit qi professional talent.

Since the white-clothed followers had such experiences in the past, all of them were even more grateful and respectful of Lin Yuan after joining Sky City and having their fates changed.

After receiving top resources, a spirit qi professional's standard of living would not only be improved, but they would even be able to obtain a higher status in society.

In this world ruled by martial force, power was a more formidable strength than riches.
